The most unexpected luxury in this home isn't what you see. It's what you don't have to do.

Behind the stone-clad fireplace, the oversized Taj Mahal quartzite counters, and those perfectly placed picture view windows is something more valuable: the work is already finished.
New roof.
New electrical.
Updated foundation and major systems. BESO and WUI compliant.

Move-in ready, and future-ready.

Finding one or two of these items already done in one home is rare. Finding them all?
Like a unicorn the latest VC is courting.

Here, it's just part of the package.

You move in, and start living.

All that's left is your own touch.

That's what makes this home truly unique.

It's a power home and a peaceful retreat at the same address.

So host the dinner party.

Fill the house with laughter.

Open the doors to the view.

Then, when you've had enough of the social life, close the door and disappear into your own world.

A place to gather.

A place to retreat.

A place to be seen, and a place to hide.

The greatest luxury isn't one or the other.

It's having both, under one roof.

Follow along.

This is the level of finished, deliberate luxury that's genuinely rare to find, and I'll keep showing you where it exists.

Imagine waking up to the Golden Gate Bridge, the San Francisco skyline, and the Bay, framed by your bedroom window before your feet hit the floor.

Now step outside. This home doesn't stop at the window.

Off the great room, a view balcony becomes an outdoor living room, built for morning coffee, sunset cocktails, or watching the city lights come on.

Down in the backyard, a wide deck opens onto a level lawn anchored by a mature olive tree. A rare find in the Berkeley Hills, and the kind of space kids, dogs, and dinner parties actually use.

Above that, a second tier waits to become whatever you want: a raised garden, a pétanque court, a wellness retreat, or just the quiet spot to relax.

That's the real story here. This home doesn't tell you how to live in it. It gives you the room to decide for yourself.

Follow along. This is one of the most exclusive homes to hit the Berkeley Hills this year, and you'll want to see it before it's gone.

What’s cooking?

With a full suite of Thermador appliances, an incredible prep sink with a view, and those oversized Taj Mahal quartzite counters…

Definitely something fresh. ✨

But the real question is, where do we take it from here?

A dinner party?

With the effortless flow between indoor and outdoor living, this kitchen was made for gathering. Friends around the island. Family drifting outside. Conversations that last long after dinner is served.

Or maybe something a little more intimate…

A DIY taco bar spread across the Taj Mahal counters. Margaritas in hand. Laughing over every bite.

And why stop there?

Take the party outside for an all-day cookout. The expansive deck gives everyone a place to settle in, while the generous lawn gives kids and four-legged family members plenty of room to run, romp, and play.

This is a home that makes entertaining feel effortless, and everyday life feel like a little bit of a getaway.

And when the day finally winds down?

Retreat to the primary suite. More views, more beautiful California light, and a bath made for exactly this moment.

I’m still uncovering this home's secrets for you. Stay tuned. ✨🏡

Dreaming of a home like this? Follow along, this is exactly the kind of house I love finding for my clients.

There’s a difference between a home that has been remodeled…

…and a home that has been remastered.

This one was renovated by a custom home builder who held himself to the same exacting standards he would use for his own clients.

Every system thoughtfully upgraded and seamlessly integrated with the way the home lives.

Every possible view considered, then expertly framed like a living piece of art.

Every detail, intentional.

Throughout the home, timeless luxury added with the kind of craftsmanship meant to last for generations.

But here’s the part I really want you to know:

You don’t have to be looking for a home to come see this one.

Whether you’re actively thinking about buying, casually curious, or not thinking about buying at all…

Come. See it.

Because this house just might change your mind and make you make a move.

Fully upgraded systems.
Move-in ready.
California Modern design.
Breathtaking views.
A level yard — a rare luxury in the hills.

And a home where beauty and function were considered from the ground up.

After all the details, the craftsmanship, the views and the countless thoughtful choices…

There’s really only one word for it.

PRISTINE. ✨🏡

The moment you step into the great room, it has something to say.

Exposed beams. Dramatic trusses. A stone-clad fireplace anchoring the room with the kind of craftsmanship you don't see every day.

But then… turn around.

Because the real reveal is waiting behind you. ✨

Sweeping views of San Francisco, the Bay, and the Golden Gate Bridge stretch out before you, and suddenly, this isn't just a great room. It's the room.

This home feels like the work of a master craftsperson: beautifully considered California Modern design, elevated by thoughtful details throughout. A home that is truly a machine for living.

And then there's the kitchen.

Taj Mahal quartzite. Incredible natural light pouring in from the skylight and perfectly positioned windows. Beautifully designed for someone who actually loves to cook, a chef's dream with a view spanning San Francisco, the Golden Gate Bridge, and Marin headlands.

But I’m only just getting started. There are still secrets tucked inside this home, and I can't wait to show you.

It's a small detail with an outsized effect: healthy greenery brings warmth, movement, and — in Feng Shui terms — swift prosperity into a space.

🪴 Money Tree: place in your wealth corner (southeast of your home) to invite abundance

🪴 Healthiest Specimens: choose plants with round full leaves

🪴 Avoid Sharp Edged Leaves: they “cut” your good luck and money away!

Whether you're staging to sell or just want your home to feel more alive, this is one of the easiest upgrades that costs little and does a lot.

It's also exactly the kind of detail that separates a good listing from one that sells fast and for top dollar.

If you're thinking about selling your home in the East Bay, you deserve a top-flight agent who pays attention to these details, not just the paperwork.

That's the job, and it's mine.

Save this for your next home refresh, and share it with anyone searching for the best agent to bring their home to market.

Let's talk — you deserve representation that pays attention.

Or, if you want to come along on my next trip to the nursery, let me know!
